I decided to be a little more patient with this one, as I refrained from setting any short orders prior to the Holy Week holidays. Never know what could happen over the long weekend and I didn’t want to risk getting blown out by weekend gaps.

I did notice that price bumped the ceiling at the 1.4800 major psychological level then consolidated for a while. A downside break could confirm that the downtrend is still underway so I waited to short below the tight short-term range. As you can see from the chart below, I was able to get in at 1.4750 in today’s Asian trading session and I’m aiming for the bottom of the channel around 1.4600.

With a 100-pip stop outside the falling channel, I’m looking at a potential 1.5-to-1 return on risk for this setup. I’ll be extra mindful of the upcoming data releases, namely the Australian CPI and euro zone PMI reports, to see if I should exit early or start thinking about adding to my position. If you’re thinking of taking the same forex setup, make sure you read our risk disclosure!
